After car accident, Colorado’s Hasselbach grateful to play
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado sophomore linebacker Terran Hasselbach was asleep in the passenger seat as his father drove them home from football practice. The crash remains nothing but a blur.
Gasping for air is his first memory after their BMW was hit at nearly 60 mph by a driver who ran a red light. Passing out again. Waking up in an ambulance, his dad clutching his hand with fear on his face.
Hasselbach broke his foot, ribs and a disk in his back during an accident in 2010 that happened just before he started high school.
